**Calms and soothes skin ** One of the benefits of azulene oil is its ability to calm various skin irritations like redness or bumps. It is added to products like wax oil and aftershave cream due to its skin-soothing nature. Azulene oil can also be used by someone dealing with sunburns as it accelerates healing and reduces redness. **Anti-microbial ** The antimicrobial properties of azulene oil are very similar to those found in tea tree essential oil. This is why the oil is also added to products formulated for the treatment of acne. It is also used by professionals after skin treatments like micro-needling, laser hair reduction and other beauty treatments to prevent infection. **Moisturises skin ** Another benefit of this oil is that it keeps the skin moisturised for a long time. Azulene oil strengthens the skin's barrier, thereby preventing moisture loss. It gets easily absorbed by the skin and does not leave a sticky or oily feel behind.
